[SCC_Active_Members] The 25 favorite Computer Science BooksfromACM

[Paula Jabloner]

Hello,

As Allison mentioned in yesterday's email. I am working making Randy &
Ed's book catalog more searchable then the columnar format it was
formally in. A new keyword and advanced searchable database has been
created containing over 2,500 records for published books within our
collection that will mimic the search screens already available for
searching the collection at http://archive.computerhistory.org/search/.
This will be accessible through the currently not working Reading Room
link in 4 weeks or less. The columnar data format that Al brought up the
link for is currently not active and just sitting on our server as
Bernard implies below.

Also, we have also actively started an inventory project for the 400+
ACM favorite books and when completed will be adding those we currently
do not have to the Museum's wish list at
http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/donateArtifact/wishlist.php.

Friends of the museum web site

 I checked it and 
 http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/readingRoom/ is indeed a
circular reference and 

http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/DocumentArchive/Documents/Boo
ks/B
ook_Catalog_for_reading_room/Book-Catalog.html

As was suggested by Al leads to 

"This page consists of selected columns of data from a book cataloging
project performed winter 2001 and spring 2002 by Randall Neff and Ed
Thelen,
volunteers at the Computer History Museum. The Museum gratefully
acknowledges the many hours of work they put into the project."
Book Catalog (incomplete) 
of the Computer History Museum, as of July 27, 2002 
Sorted by title  etc"

I suspect we should do some fixes to clean up the pointers and this page
seems like an old page.
